As our faithful listeners know, hosts Jeff and Bill are always wondering about the question, WWWW? What Would Wheat Want? The answer, they feel certain, is an eco-friendly Bible. But this isn’t a joke: publishers have actually produced a “Green Bible” with a forward by Desmond Tutu, as a “green letter” edition. Instead of placing the words of Christ in red, as many Bibles traditionally do, the Green Bible places all verses that deal with God’s creation in green. As you can imagine, this causes Bill to rant and rave about environmentalism, with Jeff trying to inject some nuances but largely getting carried away by Bill’s rhetoric.

After a brief segment Bill and Jeff like to call, “Where the Tech Are We?”, your hosts launch into a prolonged diatribe about homeschooling. Why, Jeff wants to know, has the most important evangelical grassroots movement of the last few decades gone largely unnoticed by the Church? Why do so many families stereotype homeschoolers to avoid considering the homeschooling option for themselves? Why are so many Christians willing to ignore what is happening in the public schools? Can Christians make their faith relevant again to education, one family at a time?
